...instead of calling initialization functions directly and having to
keep around a ECCVerifyHandle member variable.
This makes the initialization codepath of our tests more closely
resemble those of AppInitMain and potentially eases the review of
subsequent commit removing init::{Set,Unset}Globals.
[META] In a future commit, we will introduce a kernel::Context which
calls init::{Set,Unset}Globals in its ctor and dtor. It will be
owned by node::NodeContext, so in the end, this patchset won't
have made the previously local ECCVerifyHandle global.
Test library
This contains files for the test library, which is used by the test binaries (unit tests, benchmarks, fuzzers, gui tests).
Generally, the files in this folder should be well-separated modules. New code should be added to existing modules or (when in doubt) a new module should be created.
The utilities in here are compiled into a library, which does not hold any state. However, the main file setup_common
defines the common test setup for all test binaries. The test binaries will handle the global state when they
instantiate the BasicTestingSetup (or one of its derived classes).
